I am actually. Trying to figure out how I will afford everything in a few years when S15 comes off child support and I lose alimony. I keep thinking I need a better paying job to manage it. Things are a little tight now since they had messed up calculating the payments and he overpaid me by quite a pretty sum. His payments were all over the place. So now they have that fixed and as I was doing well before, now everything is tight. Especially since S18 is still at home. Those extra expenses don't go away just because they graduate high school.
Don't get me wrong, he does pay for his extras and covers his car insurance. He buys his own clothes. So he does a lot, but I want him to save money too. Oh well working out solutions as we speak but I still think a better paying job is the long term answer.

My 60 something cousin just stopped by work as I was closing up the office. She got a divorce about a year ago. She was a walk away wife. Anyway, she said come on, let's get together and I will help you write your profile. We are going to get you a guy. LOL Gotta love her.

Yes, Tuesday night we are going to meet up. She said everyone she has helped write a profile for is now happily dating a great guy. Let's hope she continues to bat 1000!
I am really ready and not seeking validation from anyone!

Well my cousin is a bit of a spitfire so I should have some fun doing this. She asked if I wanted to print off or e-mail an old profile. I said when I wrote my last one, I was feeling so betrayed, it probably din't come off well at all. Maybe we should just start from scratch. lol
Tomorrow night getting down to business.

Thanks. We had fun. She is going to work on it, let me edit it. I'll send it back to her and she will edit and then it will come back to me. She lived in Colorado while I was growing up so I only knew her through pictures.
A few years ago she returned a client call and asked if I was related to so and so. Yep, that was my Dad. So we have been getting to know each other again. She is so much fun. Reminds me of my Dad's Mom.
